Transcultural Media Studies Project

Serious Games is used as an umbrella term for a series of interrelated research events and workshops that focus on new uses of gaming technologies. A developing emphasis within the Transcultural Media Studies Project.

2010: Serious Games - Concept Development

• Joint Lecture/Seminar ( HBK/ DFKI) incl. Serious Games
• Concept Development Game 'Cold War' ( HBK/ Die Redner)

2009: Serious Games and New Approaches to Crisis Media

"How do we respond to the compassion fatigue among news audiences confronted with the ever-same images of crisis, with reports that follow all-too-etablished protocols of crisis coverage, and analyses that do little to encourage the development of alternative perspectives on conflict prevention? So-called serious games offer an opportunity to re-engage the question of crisis media. Developed by actors both inside and outside the traditional milieu of human rights media, serious uses of gaming technologies meant to solve real-world problems are relevant to those concerned about the role media can play in the analysis, coverage, and prevention of conflict."

Zur Ethik des Abfalls im Zeitalter digitaler Medialisierung

 Symposium in Kooperation mit dem International Center for Information Ethics ( ICIE)

2.-3. Juli 2010

Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar, Saarbrücken

Eröffnung 07. November 2009, 19 Uhr

"With this issue,  IRIE – dedicated to the development of information ethics as a reflexive practice and conceptual horizon – aims to engage itself with the broad range of materials involved in the very acts and processes of communication, information, and knowledge production."

" Winter Camp was too short, too small to yield results that can simply be generalized across the terrains of net.culture, but it confirmed the need to couple face-to-face meetings with a research agenda that both takes key signals from what’s happening at the grassroots and prompts critical reflection on issues across network boundaries."

"Videoblogger konkurrieren mit den Welterklärern der Auslandsreportage,
neue Tools von Google und Co ermöglichen dynamische Visualisierungen
von Krisenverläufen - der Wandel des Internet zum Echtzeitmedium
verändert auch die  Krisenberichterstattung."

"The return of political ontology and its critique of representation contributes to a retrieval of the antagonistic registers of "the political." A corresponding interest in processes of collaborative constitution has explored alternative  modalities of the (conflictual) production of (political) subjectivity."

"Afrikanische  FOSS-Initiativen zeigen, dass ein kollaborativer Ethos und die damit verbundenen Entwicklungspraktiken kein post-materieller Luxus der Industrieländer sind."
